Alright. I just figured that needed clearing up.

Complaints about the Psykers.

In fallout you must of had contact with the FEV (in which case you'd be highly insane) to become a Psyker. Telepathics just need radiation, or being a brain in jar.

Speaking of which, all Psykers are insane, as seen in the Canon.

Lastly, the Master, a dude who controlled a entire Super Mutant Army, couldn't even control the damn things without nullifying their powers and locking them in force fields. It seems to me they can barely control their powers themselves.

The characters on this site would most likely get killed trying to do anything involved with these guys. "Ooops, sorry I accidentally caused that desk to smash into your legs paralyzing you for life".

Cewebwalz, you may want to move that to the poll about this very issue. Also, let's not let psionic abilities steal the spotlight here.

We still need a considerable amount more perks and some traits too, and people who contribute paticularly good or numurous submissions will be given fabulous prizes! Well, maybe not fabulous, but rewards will be given.

Maybe have a perk that raises rad resistance due to prolonged exposure? I know it just sounds like I'm taking perks from the games but really, unless we come up with somthing crazy that's pretty much what we will be doing.

Well, I guess I'll chip in. Think of it as my Christmas present to the Wates :P

(Name:) Ninja Drunk.
(Caption:) You want a piece of yourself?! Come outside, I'll kick my arse!
(Level when possible to award:) Lvl 10.
(Explanation:) Your a five-star comedian when you act -- or are -- drunk. At the start of a fight with any human beings you may act drunk and catch them off guard, by making them not only laugh their butts off, but also underestimate you. The higher your charisma, the more effective this perk will be.
(Options:) This perk may be assisted by the consumption of alcohol. You may drink up to 2 bottles of your desired substance to aid this perk, gaining an extra +1 to charisma, but also losing an extra -1 to perception for each bottle.

Susceptible to change and edit and modifications and all that stuff.

Edit: Changed to an acceptable level.

On Orions suggestion:

Quote:
 
Radiation sponge
"I can hear all of my individual genes crying!"
Lvl ?
Requirments: Character must be a ghoul, or in the process of ghoulification
Explination:Years of prolonged exposure to radiation, rather then horrifically kililng you, has strengthend your radiation resistance as a whole, so much so that you are actually invigorated and rejuvinated by it's presence!
Suggested use: Take advantage of your ghoulified state whenever possible with this useful perk. Rather then being damaging or harmful, radiation not only heals you like it does with all other ghouls, it actually increases your endurance and damage resistance!

Haha, that's pretty awesome Dave.

Just a suggestion though, you get perk upgrades at 5 and 10. Not 7.

*Shrugs* I wanted to play off of that as part of the being drunk joke, but I guess it was too indirect :P *Edits*

Work on perks specifically for older or younger characters. Give a little incentive for people to go for before their prime and past their prime characters, rather then the standard twenty year old.

Buncha no good deadbeats.

Quote:
 
Experienced:
I've forgotten more then you'll EVER know!
Lvl 5
Requirments: Character must be above the age of 40
Explination: You've seen more then your fair share of adventure, and you know how things work out in the wastes. Those young pups might be more fit, but it really doesn't matter when dealing with a seasoned waster like yourself.
Suggested Use: You're no young gun anymore, but you make up with it with your experience and knowlege of the wastes. You are far more likely to notice danger, and far less likely to fall into a trap or an ambush.


Fresh Meat:
Yeah, Yeah. Whatever gramps.
Lvl 5
Requirments: Character must be below the age of 18
Explination: Sure, you're a lot less experienced, and a lot younger then most folks, but everyone has to start somewhere, right? Besides, you can run circles around those older bastards.
Suggested use: As a younger adventurer, you injure much less often, and when you do you recover very quickly.



Suggestions/ideas? I'm really not sure if that's quite balanced, and I don't know if those are good ages. I was thinking thirty-ish for experienced, but that feels a little too young.

An extension to Zilabus' above post.

Quote:
 

Prime of Life

"Pick up the pace gramps. You too young blood. Come on, I don't have all day!"

Level 5

Requirements: Character must be between 25 and 35

You're at your physical peak. Your body's more developed than a youngblood's, stronger and tougher than their still-growing meatsack. It's more agile and durable than an older husk. Your mind is sharper than an old cronie's and carries more experience than a newcomer's. Faster and stronger than an older adventurer, tougher and more experienced than a younger adventurer, you're a fine balance, but it won't last forever.

We could make the range a little tighter. It can always be reworked.

Mid-Life Crisis

"What do you mean I might be losing my touch? I have all the touch of an octopus with sensetive tentacles!"

Level 5

Requirements: Must be between ages 35 and 40

Biological clock ticking, or some comment about your age striking a nerve. You might be slowing down, and you might not have the experience of an old-timer yet, but by god, you're gonna show 'em all! No fast cars, hair dye or big TVs left after the war, so you're gonna have to play these kids and oldies at their own games!

Suggested Use:
You might have to force it, but you're gonna attack any issue, battle, drinking games, gambling, whatever, with the vigour of youth and an air of wisdom only a person of your vintage can have!
